"The GoFundMe campaign was set up by Coleman's sister, Leeta Bigbe. So far, more than 10,000 people have contributed."

I have love/hate feelings about these kinds of things. I'm happy she's getting some money, but I wish there were a better way of seeing what they actually need. I would hope that at least some of the family members had life insurance, and down the road I have to imagine they'll at least get some level of money from the inevitable lawsuit. (Granted, the latter could take years.)

I might side with James Hall on this argument.

The ****ing morons took it out in a storm. WTF? Don't blame the boat for assinine behavior.

Oh no! My RWD Ford dually skidded off the road and killed someone when I drove it in the ice! This is the truck's fault!

Ride the Ducks has already offered to pay for all of the medical and funeral expenses of all of the victims. Thought it was cool of them to do that before getting sued.

I don't have any hate feelings for this. Hope she never has to work again.

Well they should...but they were going to have to pay that anyway. At least they are doing the right thing now and not making the families go through the fight of getting it paid for.

Two incidents in what, 40 years of these things driving around different places all over the country, every day, carrying hundreds of people?

They still have to front it. It's not a trivial expenditure. They know their man messed up and they'll have their tail between their legs for a while.

They could have made the families wait until after claims were made.

Most incidents were caused by poor maintenance (Lake Hamilton) On road they have had axles break and cause crashes and have have accidents in city traffic.

And I would guess the boats have served hundreds of thousands, if not into the millions of people.

It’s common for a Medical Examiner/Coroner office to have arrangements with other offices to handle storage issues. Funeral homes may provide temporary storage space for example. I do not know how storage was handled in this particular case.
